I also saw an electronic advice advertised on FB which emits a special audio frequency which dogs cannot tolerate.
There's a pesty barking dog up the road from us whenever we walk past. Just for fun tried this..



Dunno if the dog dies of shock when it hears that but seems to shut him up :lol: Worth a try.. :wink:

I lived on a brand new road last year and Khmer women and men walked every morning with a stick..packs slept waiting..like hyenas or coyotes..
Attack from the rear..
I have found Khmer dogs to be very skittish...they act like the news is out about the millions consumed each year....plus, they seem to be expecting abusive kicks...etc..
Has anyone ever seen a cat here with an entire tail?
Walk with stick..Khmer do...

Are you going to tell us that dogs are responsible for cats not having entire tails?

Chase them down.. out-crazy them.
I scream at them 'BBQ' and 'soup', never once have they retaliated. It's even better when the owners are about watching sheepishly...

I've been bitten twice, but both times was out of nowhere, caught off guard.

The last time I was bitten by a dog was about a decade ago. I’ve been bitten by more humans than dogs, which probably says something.

In many similar places such as Cambodia I have been (work related) I have carried my trusty stockwhip on early morning walks. It allows me to keep them at a reasonable distance and, if required, inflict pain as a deterrent.
I dont use it here on my morning walks as I haven't had problems in PP.

Mime bending over and picking up a stone or just hold your fist above your head. That always deters them.
Scarier than malaria.

Lesson 1. Teach your kids to never run away from dogs. It's the dogs instinct to chase its victims and bite from behind. It's the same with most wild animals. If you face towards the dog and stand tall , slowly backing away there is a lot less likelihood of being bitten . As kids are not so tall and their face is closer to the ground level they should be very careful if the try to pick up a stone or stick.

All that aside, I’m getting the impression that there isn’t any official pressure that can be put on the owners, while maintains relatively peaceful relations. Which is not a problem. It just means that there’s a some latitude.
